Capt. Dave's Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari

The most unique dolphin and whale watching in the world! Daily, year round, dolphin and whale watching trips depart from Southern California aboard high-tech catamarans can get you up close & personal with magnificent blue whales (May – Oct.), gray whales (Dec. - May), fin whales, humpback whales, minke whales, killer whales, five species of wild dolphins that can number in herds up to 10,000, and much more for an educational and incredibly exciting whale watching experience.

Only aboard our catamaran Manute’a can you be one of the pod and feel what it’s like to swim with dolphins underwater, without getting wet, in our Eye-to-Eye Underwater Viewing Pods.

Knowledgeable marine naturalists explain how these animals live while you see and touch our collection of whale and dolphin artifacts. You can listen below the surface too with our research quality hydrophone. And Mrs. Capt. Dave’s yummy triple fudge brownies are served as a special treat on the ride back.

This store features some of our best dolphin, whale, and wildlife photographs taken during our daily dolphin and whale watching trips.
